Funding

Regional: The CC team secured regional funding through LA Metro’s Call for Projects in 2015. Since then, we have established a method for Caltrans to manage regional funds that is approved for use throughout the state.

State: The CC team worked with the legislature to develop and secure funding for “Congested Corridors” initiatives through SB1. We have also worked with the legislature to define standards for approval.

Stakeholders: Early in the planning process, Caltrans secured funding for the Pilot through the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP).

Grants: Caltrans has further shown their commitment to the project through the pursuit of various grants including the Advanced Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment (ATCMTD) program and FHWA’s ICM Deployment Planning grant.

The CC Program has defined TMDD standards for the exchange of data between these systems.

We are in the process of funding upgrades to a number of the systems to ensure interoperability.

Data Quality Standards

The CC team has defined data quality standards for arterials and freeways.

We have defined procedures and tools for use for determining data quality.

We have open source tools that can use data routinely provided by traffic signal vendors and by Caltrans' Performance Management System (PeMS)

Response Plan Development

The CC team is developing response plans in a very systematic way and ensuring the process is accurately documented for other districts and agencies to leverage our lessons learned.

We have a standardized response plan format; defined and detailed in TMDD.

Caltrans and PATH provide a free Response Plan Generator Tool for building response plans and displaying them in multiple formats. The plan is to eventually make this tool, and others, open source for use in other corridors.

Caltrans developed a website to provide all of their districts with information on the CC Program. This site will soon be unveiled to their employees and eventually made public. Much of the information is currently available on the I-210 Pilot website.

Ecosystem of Consultants and Vendors

We're developing a solid, unified ecosystem of consultants and vendors to support ICM.

Vendors are a part of the team and discussions as to how to make the Pilot successful.
